When Nathan Nakis' mother nominated her son as soldier of the week for his unit in August, she wrote he "has always loved three things: playing in the dirt, being outdoors and acting like a soldier."
"So we were not surprised when he decided to join the Army National Guard as a combat engineer to help support his college education," she wrote of the freshman at Oregon State University.

I miss Nathan he was a good kid and he was always there to help you when ever you needed help. I didnt know him that well but with him being involved in Boy Scouts I got to know him better as I went with my grandfather and his trop on things.. the last time i think i saw Nathan he was at my grandparents place helping my grandpa Gene Schloemer with something... even though he was working he would always find time to play with me when i was little... i miss him so much.... We will always remember and miss you nathan!!!
